During the time before Pearl Harbor the two men heading up the codebreaking section were Army Colonel Rufus S. Bratton and Lt. Commander Alvin D. Kramer of the U.S. Navy. While the U.S. was not able to break Japanese military codes, they had cracked the diplomatic codes, which provided a clear indication of an impending attack at an unknown location, presumably on the Sunday preceding the attack on Pearl. This is depicted in the highly authentic film, Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970). Braxton and Kramer are presented as an amalgam in the character of Captain Thurman, played by Dan Aykroyd.
